The Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX - 17 studies batch reactor behavior for slow reaction rates and small product volumes. This Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor features a glass DN 100 tank, variable speed stirrer, and a stainless steel chambered bottom for isothermal heat exchange. It preheats reactants before transfer and tracks conversion using a combined conductivity and temperature sensor. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.

Construction and Design
The Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX - 17 uses a reactor sized DN 100, 250mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass, with a capacity of approximately 1950mL. A stirrer, driven by a variable speed brushless geared motor at 300minā»Ā¹, ensures a homogenous mixture and extends reactant contact time. The reactor's chambered bottom, made of stainless steel, acts as a heat exchanger for isothermal operation, studying temperature effects on the reaction. The reactor is secured to the unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Reactants are preheated at the beginning of the unit before being transferred into the reactor. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion in the reactor, with values digitally shown on the unit's switch cabinet.
